Anthropology is the scientific study of human-kind. This
course offers an introduction to its four major sub-fields,
namely; Physical or Biological anthropology (human
evolution, the fossil record, ethology); Archaeology
(extinct cultures, classical civilizations, pre-history);
Linguistics (language origins, development, diffusion,
structure, and change); Sociocultural Anthropology (pioneers
in the field, cross-cultural research, case studies, and the
future). By focusing on the broad cultural implications and
complexities of social communication and interaction,
Anthropology seeks to understand the whole human experience.
